Chapter 229 Building a Stove
Feng Qi looked at the drawing in his hand with a puzzled look. The drawing on it seemed to be a brick kiln. Hadn't Feng Er been asked to buy blue bricks before? He wondered what the princess wanted to do with this again.
"Does the blue brick have anything to do with this?"
Qin Chuchu glared at Feng Qi, pulled the blueprint over, called everyone over, and began to explain it in detail.
After everyone understood, they officially started work. With forty or fifty people busy at work, it didn't take long before the prototype came out.
The shape is very similar to the wood-burning stove used in rural areas in the previous life, except that the big iron pot on it has been replaced with a round one, and there is an entrance on it for putting in materials, which can also be closed.
The material of this furnace was made by Qin Chuchu using the yellow clay from the pit and adding some chemical materials from her space.
There is no other way. There are no materials here to make the furnace in the previous life, so we can only make do with this.
Although the shape and material are slightly different, the sturdiness is not much different.
Looking at the strange creature in front of him, Feng Qi was full of curiosity and walked around the stove several times.
"Princess, I understand. You want to use this to make medicine!"
He pointed at the furnace in front of him and said why it looked so familiar. Then he remembered that he had seen it in a picture book before. This was the kind of furnace that the gods in heaven used to make elixirs.
“…………” Qin Chuchu gritted her teeth.
He glared at Feng Qi again.
"You guessed it right, the first one I want to refine is you!"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes at him again.
“…………” Feng Qi scratched his head.
Wrong guess again!
He stretched his neck and stared at the stove for a long time, but he really couldn't guess what it was. He looked at the man next to him with a questioning look.
"Your Majesty! Do you know what this is used for?"
After all, the master is knowledgeable and may know this thing.
“…………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything.
He was also staring at the monster in front of him. He had traveled all over the country for so many years, but he had never seen one before. However, he would not ask.
Otherwise, you will end up like this guy, suffering from the glare of that stupid woman.
Soon, the stove was completely repaired and the surface was smooth, which made Qin Chuchu very satisfied.
"Bring those firewood over here!"
She pointed to the firewood that had just been chopped and placed in the kitchen under the stove.
Maybe it was because it was too humid, the smoke was quite heavy when the fire first started.
But after burning for a while, there was no more smoke and the inner wall gradually became dry.
Feng Qi stretched his neck and stared straight at it. When he saw that the smoke had subsided, he moved closer, put his hand into the entrance of the sphere, and immediately pulled it back.
"Ouch! It's so hot in here!"
He looked at the big thing in front of him curiously. He didn't expect that it was so hot inside after only being burned for a while.
Plus, this thing wasn't completely dry yet, so when I put my hand in it just now, it felt like a steamer.
“…………”Qin Chuchu.
Of course it is hot. If you close the entrance door, the temperature inside will be even higher.
But that’s not possible now. There’s too much heat inside. If I close the small door, it might explode.
Seeing that the stove was successfully built, Qin Chuchu took his men to the foot of the mountain.
The quartz and limestone were picked out and everyone was asked to crush them and sift out the finest powder for later use.
Looking at the stone foam in the bag, Feng Qi looked suspicious.
"Princess, what's the use of this?"
This wouldn't be used even for making bricks, let alone for refining pills. I really can't guess what the princess wants to use it for.
"You're the only one who talks too much. If you have the time, do something useful!"
Qin Chuchu glared at him with a bad look. She hadn't moved a hand or a mouth this entire afternoon.
He kept asking this and that, as if he would understand everything.
Seeing the princess's disgusted eyes, Feng Qi grinned, as she was dissatisfied with his chattering.
"Hey, Princess, what can I do for you?"
"Now I have an important matter for you to do!"
Qin Chuchu looked at her seriously and pointed at the fire under the stove.
"From now on, you have to arrange for people to take turns watching over this. The fire in this furnace cannot be extinguished!"
The stove is wet now and must be dried out quickly if it is to be used.
"Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely take care of this matter for you!"
Feng Qi patted his chest and made the promise. Qin Chuchu glanced at him without saying a word, and also felt that this was not a difficult task.
Just as he was about to go back, he seemed to remember something.
"By the way, is Zhao Er back?"
She looked at Feng Liu, then looked up at the darkening sky. It was already this late, and he should be back.
"Princess, Zhao Er hasn't come back yet!"
Feng Liu shook his head and glanced at his master while speaking, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, but Qin Chuchu did not notice it.
"Oh, alright then! I have to go eat!"
As she spoke, she walked back. She hadn't eaten enough at noon, and after being busy all afternoon, her stomach was already empty.
Seeing the princess going back, Feng Liu and Feng Qi were about to follow her, only to find that their master was staring at the big guy.
“…………”
Han Muchen touched the still wet stove and rubbed it with his fingers.
What on earth did that stupid woman put in it!
It was freezing cold, and the soil that was carried out of the pit froze hard in a short time, but the mud on the stove was still soft and did not freeze at all.
And what is this stove used for?
He looked up again at Qin Chuchu, who was pedaling her bike and quickly disappearing into the distance. There was a dark look in his eyes.
As soon as Qin Chuchu got home, she went to the kitchen tent to look for Aunt Liu.
"Aunt Liu, is the meal ready?"
While speaking, his eyes looked around. I don’t know what Aunt Liu did, but it smelled quite fragrant.
"It's been hot for ages, it's still in the pot! I'll bring it to you right away!"
Aunt Liu smiled and pointed to two large pots with lids. They were already prepared, but she kept them warm for them because she was afraid they would get cold.
"Okay, I'll go back and wait!"
Qin Chuchu happily ran back to her tent. Just as she washed her hands, the man came back.
Aunt Liu followed behind and came in with the food. Looking at the chicken stewed with mushrooms on the plate, Qin Chuchu couldn't stop smiling.
“It smells so good!”
She quickly climbed onto the imperial concubine stick with her butt sticking out. Before the man sat down, she reached out and pinched a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. It was so delicious.
"Mmm, so delicious! Aunt Liu, you're amazing!"
She spoke vaguely and gave Aunt Liu a thumbs up.
It smells so good!
"If it's delicious, eat more!"
Aunt Liu was delighted to be praised and was about to turn around and leave when Qin Chuchu called her back.
"By the way, Aunt Liu, my eldest brother is coming over tomorrow, so we can have hotpot for lunch!"
"Didn't they say that Prince Murong wouldn't be coming?"
Aunt Liu looked at Feng Liu, Feng Qi and the others in confusion, because that was what they had said to her.
Qin Chuchu picked up the dishes in unison and quickly turned to look at Aunt Liu.
"Who said that?"
"Oh, Princess, this is the news from Boss He. He said that Crown Prince Murong had to return to Beihan Country on urgent business, and he said he would come to see you next time he comes!"
"Oh." Qin Chuchu looked at Feng Qi, feeling a little disappointed.
I had clearly made an appointment with my eldest brother to come here tomorrow so that I could introduce Xiao Shitou to him. It seems I have to wait until later.
